The post has since received 67,960 shares and comments leaving many people questioning if this true or not.

Verify researchers contacted Hershey’s, the owner of Reese’s and they confirmed this story is completed false.

Communication Manager Anna Lingeris told WUSA9, “Suffice to say, the story is not true. So, you may get urgent phone calls, text messages, tweets and more from panicked friends and family members looking for “straight from the source” answers. Rest assured, the only people removing Reese’s products from shelves are consumers, who are taking them home to eat.”

Lingeris also said Reese’s is not only Hershey’s #1 selling chocolate bar – they are the category leader, the number #1 chocolate brand and the iconic Reese’s two-cup is the #1 selling chocolate item.
